Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chad Johnson (formerly Ocho Cinco) was arrested on domestic battery chargers. Late breaking news as this podcast goes online, Johnson was cut by the Dolphins today. Dropping six or seven F-bombs during the filming of HBO's Hard Knocks didn't go over too well, and I guess this arrest was the icing on the unemployment cake.

We visited Raiders training camp again. This time we got an interview with Raiders cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke. You can see the video of this interview on our website www.raidernationpodcast.com, and on YouTube. We included the audio portion of that interview on this podcast. We also hear segments from Coach Allen's post-practice media session on Friday and Saturday.

Raider Greg does a brief pre game breakdown of the Raiders first preseason game that will take place tomorrow (Monday) starting at 5pm pacific time on ABC's Monday Night Football. John Gruden will be in the box, and says he is looking forward to visiting the Black Hole section prior to kickoff to give a few high fives to the fans for old time's sake.

The NFL announced a new local blackout policy this week, allowing a team to set it's own percentage of a sellout at which a game will be allowed televised locally. If a team does opt to lower the required sellout percentage below 100%, it must be no lower than 85%. Plus, to discourage teams from just setting it at 85% all the time, they will be required to share more of the revenue for any tickets sold after exceeding their required percentage. Also, teams cannot set different percentages for different games. It must be the same for all games, and must be chosen before the start of the season.

Segment #2: "Will Cedric Benson Come to the Raiders?"

There has been talk of Cedric Benson possibly coming to the Raiders, especially since he hasn't been picked up by another team and he could probably be signed fairly inexpensively. Raider Greg thinks it would be a good idea in order to prevent "using up" Darren McFadden.

Segment #3: "Rest in Peace Ben Davidson"

Raiders legend Ben Davidson passed away on Tuesday of prostate cancer at the age of 72. We partied with Big Ben last year at our away game in San Diego. You can see him in our video of that party here: http://youtu.be/wzVk8V4Rrkg (at 4:32) and in this video: http://youtu.be/AqJSKuMi06E (at 1:41). Ben will be greatly missed.

Greg also pays tribute to Al Davis, as we always do on his birthday, July 4th.

Plaxico Burris told Rich Gannon on Sirius Radio that he would definitely consider playing for the Raiders, among a few other teams. Raider Greg doesn't believe that Dennis Allen or Reggie McKenzie would be interested in either Burris or Terrell Owens, and Raider Greg doesn't think it would be a good idea either.

Raider Greg goes over all 13 of the undrafted free agents that the Raiders signed, and he believes they were all good choices. We also played the audio portion of several training camp interview videos that were posted on Raiders.com….with the following draftees: 3rd Rd. pick OT Tony Bergstrom, 5th Rd. pick DE Jack Crawford, 5th Rd. pick WR Juron Criner, and 6th Rd. pick DE Christo Bilukidi. We also hear from Defensive Coordinator Jason Tarver, Offensive Coordinator Greg Knapp, as well as Head Coach Dennis Allen.In other late news, last night the Raiders fired their head of college scouting for the last 33 years Jon Kingdon. We will cover that story in our next podcast.

Segment #3: "D.H.B. gets a D.U.I. -- how D.U.M.B. is that?"

Raider Greg briefly covers the story of Derrius Heyward-Bey being charged with driving under the influence, after being pulled over on the Bay Bridge.

Segment #4: "Vikings are staying in Minnesota - Does this increase Raiders chances of moving to L.A.?"

The Vikings were one of the teams trying to get a new stadium, and were rumored as a candidate to move to L.A. They have apparently made plans for a new stadium in Minnesota. Raider Greg thinks this makes the Raiders the most likely team to move to L.A.

The Raiders first pick in the 2012 draft was a compensatory pick at the end of the third round. Going into this draft, we were only slated to have five picks, but Reggie McKenzie got us an extra pick in the 7th round by making a late hour trade. Raider Greg will review our six new members of the Oakland Raiders. We also hear from Raiders Coach Dennis Allen by way of an interview he did on 95.7 The Game's "Wheelhouse" with co-hosts John Lund and Greg Papa. This interview was recorded after the conclusion of round one of the draft.

Segment #2: "Matt Leinart coming to Oakland?"

As of our recording of this podcast on Monday April 30th, Matt Leinart was scheduled to work out with the Raiders the following day. Raider Greg was anticipating in this story that the Raiders would sign Leinart as Carson Palmer's backup. LATE BREAKING NEWS: As I am posting these podcast notes and preparing to upload this show to the internet, I see late breaking news that the Raiders have indeed signed Matt Leinart today (Tuesday May 1st). The Raiders have officially confirmed this on their website.

In other late news, last night the Raiders fired their head of college scouting for the last 33 years Jon Kingdon. We will cover that story in our next podcast.

Segment #3: "Raider Greg's 2012 Hopes, Opinions, and Predictions"

Raider Greg is optimistic about the Raiders 2012 season, in spite of the opinions of many analysts that the Raiders will finish last in the AFC West. Wouldn't we all love to prove them wrong?

We talk about what the positives AND the negatives are in this Raiders offseason, and how things are shaping up. This is our first offseason without Al Davis in charge, and things are very different. Raiders OTA's, "organized team activities" began last Monday with the Raiders strength and conditioning program. Coaches are not allowed on the field with the players, with the exception of the strength and conditioning coaches. We hear from Dennis Allen in an audio interview care of Bay Area FM radio station 95.7 "The Game"…hosted by the "Voice of the Raiders" Greg Papa and radio cohost John Lund.

Segment #2: "Draft 2012"

Reggie McKenzie needs to perform like a wizard in this draft, due to the Raiders having limited picks and not much cap space. Raider Greg goes over the pre-draft situation.

The Peyton Manning saga went on and on until he finally announced he was signing with Denver on Monday. What does this mean for the Raiders and the rest of the AFC West? The Broncos have $30 Million in cap space, enough to offer Manning a $95 Million contract over 5 years, and enough left over to sign a supporting cast of free agents and draft picks. Raider Greg says the Raider Nation is definitely not scared of Denver or Manning, and we welcome the challenge.

Breaking News…..Free Agent Jason Campbell signed a one year contract with the Chicago Bears today. We also cover the story of Randy Moss being signed by the San Francisco 49ers, and we hear some audio from Bay Area radio station 95.7 "The Game" featuring Zach Crockett. Zach is currently an Oakland Raiders scout, and he gives his recollections of what Randy Moss was like as a Raiders teammate.

Segment #2: "The Free Agent Fiasco"

The 2012 NFL Free Agency period began today with over 600 free agents! Normally there are around 400, but the lockout has resulted in 50% more free agents than usual. This should mean players being available at relatively lower salaries with all the competition for spots. It will be interesting to see who Reggie McKenzie and Dennis Allen decide to go after. Raider Greg gives his opinion.

Segment #3: "The Cap Crap"

The Redskins were recently penalized $36 Million and the Cowboys $10 Million for salary cap violations prior to the 2010 season. Unfortunately the Raiders were found in violation also, to a lesser extent, so they will not be able to share the extra cap money that is being divided by 28 teams. The Saints also will not get the 1.6 Million in extra cap space.

Segment #4: "Raiders Shaking It Up In Free Agency"

Raider Greg recaps some of the recent moves the Raiders have made in order to clear some cap space and get ready for free agency. We also hear from Raiders insider John Dickinson during an interview on 95.7 "The Game".

Longtime Raiders executive John Herrera is no longer going to be "Senior Executive" at Raiders headquarters. John started out at age 16 as a ball boy and running odd jobs for Al Davis, and eventually became the team's spokesperson for media releases. He became infamous during a Lane Kiffin press conference, when an interesting exchange between he and columnist Tim Kawakami was caught on tape (still available on YouTube). Mr. Herrera was not seen in a favorable light by many Raiders fans, and they are not unhappy that he is leaving. Raider Greg will give his thoughts on the subject.

Segment #2: "Will 2012 Be A 'Rebuilding' Year For The Raiders?"

After such a long time without a playoff appearance, approaching ten years, the last word that Raider Nation wants to hear is "rebuilding". Despite the unpleasant sound of that word, it may be a necessary stage we must progress through now that we have a new (and hopefully more effective) management and coaching team in place. We will also hear a few audio clips from local FM sports station 95.7 "The Game". Former Raiders running back and Pastor Napoleon Kaufman gives his thoughts on Stanford Routt signing with the Chiefs. Then Herm Edwards gives his insight into the Chiefs as well as some discussion on wide receivers and free agency.

Coach Allen has his coaching staff almost complete. He retained Al Saunders as "Senior Offensive Assistant", which is being widely regarded as a great thing. His staff is young, and many are from the college ranks, but Raider Greg and many others are optimistic. We also listen to the thoughts of Raiders media man John Dickinson from FM 95.7 "The Game".

Segment #2: "Reggie McKenzie is moving and shaking"

Reggie McKenzie's general manager's sword came down and cut cornerback Stanford Routt. Was it a cap move? Was it performance related? Both? Is he sending a message to the other players? Looks like this off-season will be very interesting. Free agency and the draft are approaching. What other moves will McKenzie make to either pick up free agents or acquire more draft choice possibly? More radio clips from 95.7 "The Game", featuring insight from Rich Gannon, more from John Dickinson, plus Sports Illustrated's Don Banks and NFL executive Mike Lombardi.

The Raiders held their introductory press conference on Monday for new head coach Dennis Allen. He did a good job outlining his vision for building the Raiders. In this segment we include some audio clips from the press conference and Raider Greg gives his opinion on the hire, some concerns, and his outlook for the 2012 Raiders.

Segment #2: "Greg Knapp, Raiders Offensive Coordinator - Part 2"

Greg Knapp was Raiders offensive coordinator for the 2007 and 2008 seasons. Most recently he was the quarterbacks coach for the Houston Texans in 2011. Dennis Allen has brought him back to be our offensive coordinator once again. Many people in Raider Nation are not happy about this hire, and Raider Greg voices their concerns and his own.

After listening to introductory press conference for new Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie, Raider Greg was expecting a quick dismissal of many administrative personnel. There has been no announcement of such a reorganization so far, and Raider Greg and others are dissatisfied by that. Greg discusses his feelings on this topic and related issues. He comments on a recent article by Mike Silver of Yahoo Sports where Mr. Silver criticizes the firing of Hue Jackson.

Segment #2: "The Raiders 2012 Search for a Head Coach"

The Raiders have made no official announcements of who they are interviewing for head coach, but based on information coming out from "sources", Raider Greg and many others are not happy with the names being mentioned. Marty Mornhinweg, Mike Tice, and Dom Capers are the only ones with NFL head coaching experience, and their combined won/loss record is something like 80 wins, 140 losses.

Segment #3: "The Tuck Rule Game Turns Ten Years Old. Why do we have to be reminded?"

Raider Greg is tired of being reminded of the Tuck Rule game, so this will be his third rant of the show.

NO BONELINE SEGMENT THIS SHOW. We only had one caller. Remember we are still doing shows throughout the off-season, so don't forget to call the Boneline as Raiders or other NFL news comes out that you want to comment about.

The Raiders held an introductory press conference Tuesday with Mark Davis introducing the Raiders new GM. Raider Greg summarizes the event and we hear comments from Michael Lombardi via "95.7 The Game - The Bay Area's Only FM Sports Station". We also hear a radio interview of Reggie McKenzie himself.

Segment #3: "Hue Jackson Fired"

The first action by Raiders new GM Reggie McKenzie was to fire Raiders 2011 Head Coach Hue Jackson. The search for a new head coach begins immediately. Raider Greg gives his take, and we hear more radio interviews.

Segment #4: "Will the Raiders Stay in Oakland?"

Mark Davis was asked at Tuesday's press conference about the possible locations of a new stadium for the Raiders. He did not rule out Los Angeles and said that he has had offers to move the team there.

The Raiders went into Arrowhead Stadium last Sunday and put an end to the Chiefs' playoff hopes by a score of 16-13 in overtime. It wasn't pretty, it took two blocked field goals by Richard Seymour, but the Raiders just won baby. Raider Greg gives his take on the game.

Segment #2: "Chargers @ Raiders Pregame"

The regular season winds down this Sunday and the Raiders are still in the playoff hunt. They can win the AFC West with a victory against the Chargers and a loss by the Broncos to the Chiefs. They can also make it as a wildcard with a little help. Raider Greg gives his feelings on this game and we hear a little audio from Hue Jackson (from Raiders.com). We also hear a radio segment from John Dickinson, Raiders beat reporter, via the Bay Area's only FM radio station 95.7 "The Game".

The Lions put a big hurt on the Raiders' playoff hopes by beating them 28-27 last Sunday. Raider Greg gives his critique of the play calling.

Segment #2: "Raiders @ Chiefs Pregame"

The Raiders MUST win in Kansas City tomorrow (Saturday) in order to keep any chance of a playoff spot alive. The Chiefs are red hot coming off a win over the previously undefeated Packers. It will be hostile in Arrowhead Stadium to say the least. Raider Greg gives you his thoughts.

The unbeaten Packers, now 13-0, easily defeated the Raiders in Green Bay by a score of 46-16. The Broncos pulled off another late game victory to make six wins in a row and took a one game lead over the Raiders in the AFC West with three games to go. Can the Raiders still make the playoffs? They will probably have to win out in order to do it. If they do, they have a good chance at a wildcard spot even if they can't overtake the Broncos. Raider Greg doesn't think they can do it, based on their play of late. Denarius Moore may be back this game. Darren McFadden may be back soon. Can the Raiders pull it together in time? In addition to Raider Greg's take, we hear from others such as Hue Jackson, Bill Romanowski, and others via Raiders.com, 95.7 "The Game", and 1040 "The Fan".

The Raiders came out flat and remained that way in Miami. The Dolphins won by a score of 34-14, with the Raiders scoring two late touchdowns after trailing 34-0. They need to turn things around quick or they may see their playoff hopes evaporate.

Segment #3: "Raiders @ Packers Pregame Breakdown"

The Raiders travel to the frozen tundra of Green Bay this Sunday. Raider Greg breaks down the game and we hear from some players via audio clips from the Bay Area's only FM radio station 95.7 "The Game", as well as audio from Raiders.com.

On the edge of a playoff birth that is. The Raiders are 7-4 with 5 games to go. Leading the AFC West, one game ahead of the Denver Broncos. Raider Greg thinks we should make the playoffs, and possibly go deep. Maybe into February?

Segment #2: "Bears @ Raiders Postgame"

The Raiders defeated the Chicago Bears in Oakland by a score of 25-20. The Bears were without their QB Jay Cutler, but it was not an easy victory. The Bears threatened to take the lead right up to the end. Raider Greg was there and tells the story of our pre game tailgate party (with Bears fans) and the game.

Segment #3: "Raiders @ Dolphins Pregame Breakdown"

The Raiders play the Dolphins in Miami this Sunday. Despite the Dolphins poor record this year, they have a dangerous team and Raider Greg goes over the match ups.

The Raiders defeated the Vikings in Minnesota by a score of 27-21, but it was a little to close for comfort at the end. Especially considering that the Raiders had led 27-7 earlier in the game. But we just won baby, and Raider Greg recaps the game.

Segment #3: "Bears @ Raiders Pregame Breakdown"

On the final day of the NFL trading period, the Raiders traded a 1st round pick in 2012 and a 2nd/1st conditional pick in 2013 to the Bengals for Carson Palmer. The broken clavicle to Jason Campbell in the Browns game led to this move. Some think the price was too steep, but most of Raider Nation seems happy with the move. Raider Greg is happy and he tells you why.

Segment #2: "Browns at Raiders Postgame Review"

The Raiders defeated the Browns 24-17 last Sunday after losing Jason Campbell to a broken clavicle early in the game. Although the Raiders lead by 14 points late in the game, the Browns made it too close for comfort by scoring a touchdown then recovering an onside kick. Raider Greg gives you his feelings on the game.

Segment #3: "Chiefs at Raiders Pregame Breakdown"

The Chiefs are coming to town this Sunday. Carson Palmer may actually start the game according to some predictions, although Hue Jackson hasn't made his plans public officially. We break down the game.

The Raiders had a VERY emotional win in Houston last Sunday. The game was won on an interception by Michael Huff (being called, "The Immaculate Interception") when the Raiders had only 10 men on the field. Afterwards Hue Jackson told the team that "Coach Davis" was the 11th man on the field during that last play. Raider Greg details the game and we include audio from Hue Jackson in the emotional locker room.

Segment #2: "Amy Trask - CEO on the Go"

The Raiders are in good hands with Amy Trask as CEO. Raider Greg has met her, and tells you his feelings about her. We also include audio of a radio Amy did recently where she speaks of her long relationship with Al Davis and the emotional win in Houston.

We had an outpouring of calls into our "Boneline" voicemail 800 number from Raider Nation giving their thoughts and tributes to Al Davis. Regardless of how people felt about some of Mr. Davis' management decisions, everyone is in agreement that we will miss him and we are concerned about the future of the team without him.

We have strung all of these calls together end to end, then Raider Greg gives some final thoughts afterwards. We will all miss you Al.

The Patriots defeated the Raiders 31-19 last Sunday in Oakland. The Raiders didn't look as sharp as they looked the previous week against the Jets. Penalties and interceptions were two key things that resulted in this loss. Raider Greg was at the game and gives you his recap, including the great time we had at the tailgate party as usual.

Segment #2: "Raiders @ Texans Pregame Analysis"

The Texans are a tough team, but they will be without their Pro Bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson. If the Raiders can play like they did during the Broncos, Jets, and the first half of the Bills game....they have a good chance of winning this game. Raider Greg gives his thought on this, and details of the Raiders booster clubs that will be partying Saturday night and attending the game.

The Raiders defeated the NY Jets 34-24 last Sunday in Oakland. It was a little bit of a nail-biter at the end, but the defense came through when we needed them this time.

Segment #2: "Patriots @ Raiders Pregame"

Raider Greg thinks the Raiders have a great chance of beating the Patriots this Sunday. Will the Patriots be overconfident? The lost to the Bills last week. The last time the Patriots lost back to back games was in 2009. Wouldn't it be great if the Raiders could slap back to back losses on them?

The Raiders offense came out unbelievably well in Buffalo. The defense got an early interception. Special teams even blocked a punt! The Raiders led the favored Bills by a score of 21-3 at halftime. But the Bills offense came on strong in the second half, and the Raiders defense allowed 21 answered points. Five straight touchdowns. The Raiders offense kept pace for a while. The lead changed five times in the 4th quarter! But the Raiders fell short at the end. The Bills took the lead with 14 seconds remaining and a hail mary pass by the Raiders on the last play was almost completed but was intercepted. Raider Greg gives his recap of the game.

Segment #2: "Raiders Home Opener vs the New York Jets this Sunday!"

Raider Greg goes over what he thinks the Raiders need to do to defeat the Jets on Sunday. We also hear from Hue Jackson's Monday press conference as he reviews the loss in Buffalo and looks forward to the Jets game.

Our postgame recap of the Raiders victory in Denver to start of the 2011 season. It wasn't as lopsided as last year's 59-14 victory. It was more of a nail-biter, but the outcome was just as sweet. Raider Greg gives a breakdown of the game.

Segment #2: "Raiders @ Buffalo Pregame Breakdown"

The Raiders continue on the road, this week in Buffalo. The Bills easily defeated the Chiefs in their opening game of the season. Raider Greg doesn't think they will have it so easy against the Raiders.

Raider Greg gives his feelings on where the Raiders stand going into the 2011 season.

Segment #2: "A-Hole of the Month....Al Michaels"

Al Michaels was leaving Boa Restaurant in Hollywood recently, when he was asked point blank, "Are we ever going to win a Super Bowl while Al Davis is still alive." Michaels' response -- "NO." When Michaels was asked if he considered Davis a genius, he answered, "If you had a team that lost 11 or more games in SEVEN consecutive years, would you say a genius ran the team?" Raider Greg felt that we had no choice but to award Mr. Michaels with our "A-hole of the month award."

Segment #3: "Raiders @ Broncos Pregame"

The Raiders open the 2011 season this Monday Night in Denver. Last year the Raiders beat the Broncos 59-14, and the Broncos have not forgotten it. Raider Greg gives his preview of the rematch.

The Raiders lost in San Francisco by a score of 17-3. Our passing defense was disappointing. Our run defense was really disappointing. Our offense was not very point producing. Raider Greg gives you his view of the game.

Segment #2: "Stadium Violence"

There were two shootings after the game at Candlestick Park, and a host of fights. Several people ended up in the hospital with serious injuries. People were arrested. Stadium security has come into question. Raider Greg gives his take.

The Raiders used a 3rd round pick in the 2012 draft to get Terrelle Pryor. He is definitely very fast, but can he become a top quarterback in the NFL? Some people are excited and think the Raiders made a smart move. Others think it was a "reach" and a mistake. Raider Greg gives his opinion.

Segment #1: "Is there a possibility of the Raiders moving back to Los Angeles?"

A new NFL stadium is being built in Los Angeles for sure. Whatever team ends up playing there will not be a new expansion team, it will be an existing team that moves from their present city to L.A. The Raiders continue to be mentioned as one such possible team. Raider Greg is often asked his opinion on this situation, and he gives us his opinion briefly here.

Segment #2: "Cardinals @ Raiders Postgame Review"

Raider Greg and I were at the game. The attendance at this game is listed on NFL.com as 25,699....but it sure didn't look like there were that many people in the seats. At any rate, we were there and Raider Greg tells you how he saw the game and gives you his opinion of our new rookies and our veterans.

Segment #3: "Raiders @ 49ers this coming Saturday - A Must-Win Game"

All of Raider Nation is tired of the 49ers defeating us in the annual "Battle of the Bay". Regardless of how poorly the 49ers are playing, they seem to beat the Raiders more often than not lately. Raider Greg is also tired of this, and so he's calling this a "must-win game".

Once the NFL lockout ended, Raider Nation was anxious for the Raiders to start making some moves to prepare our team for the 2011 season. We expected them to resign our critical players, do what they needed to do to get under the salary cap, then fill whatever holes were left on the roster. Well, things seemed to be moving slowly in Raiderland. We weren't hearing any news of any player transactions. Other teams were making moves. We tried to be patient. The news broke that Nnamdi Asomugha would be leaving the Raiders for the Eagles. We were disappointed, but not too surprised. As long as we resigned our other important players, maybe things would be ok. Then today Raider Nation was shocked to learn that Zach Miller had signed with the Seahawks. Raider Nation flipped out. Our boneline voicemail system went crazy. Raider Greg went crazy. You'll hear all about it in this story.

Segment #2: "Will the Raiders get a New Stadium? Will they share with the 49ers?"

There has been renewed talk about building a new stadium for the Raiders, and possibly sharing one with the 49ers. Will it be in Oakland at the site of the present Coliseum? Will it be in Santa Clara? Will it be elsewhere? Raider Greg gives you the story and his opinion.

A quick segment honoring the passing of Skip Thomas, who passed away on Sunday July 24th of a heart attack. A member of the "Soul Patrol" along with Jack Tatum and George Atkinson, Skip wore the silver and black from 1972 to 1977. Rest in peace Skip.

Segment #2: "The NFL Lockout is finally over!"

The owners voted 31-0 to approve their new CBA proposal. The Raiders abstained from the vote due to "philosophical differences". The players association agreed and signed yesterday. Raider Nation is excited. The season can finally get under way!

Segment #3: "The Next Steps: What do the Raiders need to do to get to the next level?"

Now that the lockout is over, many things must get done in less than a week. Free agent signings, free agent acquisitions, start of training camp. What must the Raiders do to move to the next level? What do we need to do to get under the new salary cap? Should we try to keep Nnamdi Asomugha? Can we afford to? Should we go after any free agents? Do you think Al Davis will come up with a big deal on a new player? Raider Greg gives his opinions.

Raider Greg comments on a recent interview of Hue Jackson on Bay Area Radio Station KNBR. Coach Jackson was asked about a recent "Top 100 Current NFL Players" list that was done by NFL Network, and he said he thought the Raiders having 3 players on the list was not enough. He thought they left out another 7 players who should have been on the list. Raider Greg gives his thoughts on this story.

Will the lockout end soon? Both sides have been meeting. An agreement must be arrived at soon or we will miss at least some preseason games. Raider Greg says, "good....I WANT to miss some preseason games...how about ALL of them!"

The Alameda County Coliseum Authority approved a 6-year naming rights deal with Overstock.com, giving the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum its fourth name. Overstock.com is in the process of changing its name to O.co, so the company has the right to change the name of the coliseum to O.co Coliseum at any time. They also have the right to opt out of the deal if the Raiders move at the end of its lease in Oakland after the 2013 season. Raider Greg tells the story.

Segment #2: "A-hole of the week….Yahoo Sports Chris Chase"

On April 25th, Judge Susan Nelson granted the NFL players a preliminary injunction, lifting the lockout. The players however were not granted access to the team facilities in order to train, get physical therapy, etc. pending an appeal by the owners. Breaking news this morning....the appeal was denied by Judge Nelson, and the teams will now have to open their doors and give access to the players. Raider Greg predicted as much in this story.

Segment #4: "2011 NFL Draft Preview"

The 2011 NFL Draft will begin tomorrow and run through Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Raiders have no first round pick due to the Richard Seymour trade. Will Al Davis make a move and reacquire a first round pick? Who will they take in the 2nd round? What are their needs? Should they draft for need or take the best available player? Raider Greg discusses these issues in this story.

Free agent Robert Gallery was "asking too much" to resign with the Raiders according to their official media statement. So the Raiders former first round pick will not be returning to the team in 2011. Raider Greg tells the story and gives his opinion.

Segment #2: "Chuck Bresnahan is the Raiders Defensive Coordinator"

Originally labeled simply as "Defensive Coach" after his hiring several weeks ago, the Raiders have officially announced that Chuck Bresnahan will be the Raiders Defensive Coordinator. Raider Greg predicted it all along, and so did most other people, and Greg tells the story.

Gene sat down and talked with Greg while they were on duty at the fire station on various topics concerning the NFL....least of which was the threat of an NFL Lockout. Gene had just started his rookie year in the NFL in 1987 when the players went out on strike, so he gives Greg his unique perspective on this topic. He also tells us all about his career which included playing for the New England Patriots, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Canadian Football League as well as the "World League" in Europe. Gene also has some Raider connections. Besides growing up in Oakland, one of Gene's college team-mates at Fresno State was none other than Raiders running backs coach Kelly Skipper. Gene also tells a story of how he crossed paths with Hue Jackson while playing in the World League. Hue was coaching for the London Monarchs, Gene played for the Barcelona Dragons, and they faced off against one another in the "World Bowl". Gene gives his personal insight on what it's like to play in the NFL, and I think you'll really enjoy this interview. This will be Part One of a two parts. Part Two of the interview will be on our next podcast, Show 305. You won't want to miss it.

Pro Football Hall of Famer and Raiders Legend Rod Woodson has been hired as the Raiders Asst. Coach for the Cornerbacks. Some speculate that this may help keep Nnamdi Asomugha in Oakland. At the least, Rod's experience and knowledge will have to be a positive addition to the Raiders coaching staff. Raider Greg gives his opinion.

Former Raiders executive Michael Lambardi made the statement recently that he believes the chances of Nnamdi Asomugha staying in Oakland as being "slim to none"....favoring "none". He bases this partially on the move the Raiders made with Richard Seymour's new 30 Million dollar two year contract. Raider Greg gives his opinion.

Segment #3: "Collective Bargaining Agreement Situation"

Will the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NFL players and owners get renewed in time to have a full NFL season in 2011? Raider Greg goes over some of the issues and gives his opinion.
